À propos de cet audio

The Time It Never Rained helped convince the Western Writers of America to declare seven-time Spur Award winner Elmer Kelton the greatest Western writer of all time. Forged from Kelton’s 1950s observations of drought-ravaged West Texas, this compelling novel tells the story of one rancher’s struggle to maintain his independence despite the swirling winds of change.

For decades, Charlie Flagg has eked out a living by raising cattle and sheep on his modest Texas ranch. Hardworking and old-fashioned, he distrusts federal programs that claim to help struggling farmers and ranchers. But as rainless years continue and others sell their souls for federal handouts, Charlie finds himself under increasing pressure to compromise his principles—and surrender his freedom.

“… not just one of the best novels ever written by a Texan. It is one of the treasures of American literature of any age or time.”—John Erickson, author of The Modern Cowboy

Really enjoyed each aspect of the story and the characters. The narrator and the author bring to life a very desperate time in history.
